This scoping review is to identify experiences, unmet needs, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of family caregivers transitioning their care recipients with dementia into long-term care (LTC). The methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley guided the review. Themes from nineteen selected studies were organized around three categories. First, caregiver experiences during LTC placement featured challenges around placement decision-making and distress and changes in relationships and responsibilities. Second, unmet needs of caregivers were desired emotional support and information about transitions. Finally, caregivers' HRQoL varies around transition. Family caregivers experience unique challenges and can have unmet needs during the LTC placement of their care recipients with dementia. Findings suggest the need for interventions that teach skills, care planning, assistance with conflict resolution, communication training, and guidance finding services and resources.

The objectives of this study were to (1) describe the frequency of VC use, (2) identify characteristics of PLWD, care partners, and family physicians (FPs) that are associated with the use of VC, and (3) explore FPs' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to provide VC for PLWD and their care partners.

Language-discordant healthcare encounters-when the patient/caregiver and clinician are not able to communicate directly in the patient's/caregiver's preferred language-are associated with worse quality of care, increased adverse events, and research exclusion. Here, we describe the current state of language justice in clinical practice and research in the United States, Canada, and Spain, discuss the role of social determinants of health and language, in patient safety and health outcomes and review an example of culturally and linguistically concordant interventions to increase research participation. We close with practical and global strategies to increase multilingual research participation and to provide equitable patient- and family-centered care in pediatric hematology-oncology.
